Instant Architecture
the performative act of technology and primitivism
Instant City, Archigram 1969 Technology
Architecture as an event, mobile and ephemeral. The experience of the metropolis is brought into towns outside the city by a fleet of all-terrain vehicles and helicopters.
Cooperativa Amereida, Ciudad Abierta, 1969 Primitive
Architecture as an instant community event. Architecture for the beauty of the process rather than the final result.
Technology VS. Primitive
E.A.T, 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, 1966 Technology
Marta Minujin, “Simultaneity and Simultaneity”, 1966 Technology
Art as a technological event. An exploration of art and technology through the medium of performance and “the happening”.
David Medalla, Untitled, 1969 Primitive
Dennis Oppenheim, Beebe Lake Ice Cut, 1969 Primitive
Art as a primitve event. The process of modifying the earth as an artwork that is temporary and ever changing.
Richard Long, Untitled , 1969 Primitive
No Stop City, Archizoom, 1969 Technology
Inexpressive architecture that is reliant on the individual and reliant on premade industrial products. An event where individuals create their architecture.
Generator Project, Cedric Price, 1978 Technology
A configurable architecture, controlled by AI technology.
Blur Building, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, 2002 Technology
An “architecture of atmosphere�, an experience that highlighted our reliance on vision and sought to create an environment of noise that comes from technological misting systems.
Ampliaciรณn para la casa del carbonero, Smiljan Radic, 1999 Primitive
Architecture as sensorial experience - one unconcerned with the physical final product or its usage, but focused its meaning in the temporary process.
Technology VS. Primitive
Programmless architectures that lives in different geographical contexts.
Moma Ps1, COSMO AndrĂŠs Jaque / Office for Political Innovation, 2015 Technology
A movable structure that hosted and provided an environment for different ecosystems by circulating and filtering 3000 gallons of water through its structure.
Moma Ps1, Pedro & Juana, 2019 Primitive
A primitive structure contructured with standard scaffolding elements, and standard 2x4 wood. The experience of a jungle, inhabitants are brought out of the city and into nature.
Pavilion architecture that inhabits the same geographical site regardless of its nature.
Serpentine Pavilions, Rem Koolhaas & Cecil Balmond, 2006 Technology
A spherical inflatable canopy filled with helium floats above the rest of the project to create enclosure. A performative architecture.
Serpentine Pavilions, Smiljan Radic, 2014 Primitive
A “folly� as an ephemeral experience rooted in nature, not concerbed about aesthetics but rather on the experience and event it could create.
Serpentine Pavilions, Herzog & De Meuron + Ai WeiWei, 2012 Primitive
A primitive act of excavation, an act of architecture that sought to revitalize past events and transform them into a new experience all together.
Pavilion architecture that inhabits the same geographical site regardless of its nature.
Infinite Social media performative grid Architecture that lives in the virtual space. Technological and primite instant architecture live in the same virtual grid, eveywhere and all the time.
